Chic Travel Attire, Wholesome Soups, and Beyond!

Join my pals Annie and Mary Ann for a delightful Sunday experience. Let’s discuss some Fabulous Travel Attire, A Nutritious Soup, and More.

Scouty is Growing Considerably

Scout is probably around 80 pounds by now. He enjoys traveling on brief excursions. He still gets a bit enthusiastic when greeting people, and tends to munch on whatever he sees, but he’s maturing into a wonderful dog. He will turn one next month.

I can anticipate your question…I am wearing madewell jeans, suede Gentle Souls booties which I have highlighted numerous times in the past, a beloved bag from FEED (a remarkable organization you should get to know if you don’t already. (unfortunately no longer up for grabs), a sweater gifted from Quinn, and a vintage Etro scarf (you can find a similar one on eBay here)

Updates from the Blog

We are currently transitioning our email service to Flodesk. I realize many of you have faced issues with Mailchimp. I postponed this change for an extended time due to my RSS feed with Mailchimp, which meant I produced the posts and they were sent to all of you. Flodesk offers more engagement, so I hope you will find it enjoyable! This is the final week to participate in the blog survey. I will share the results next Sunday. A huge thank you to everyone who has completed it. If you encountered any issues with the survey, please feel free to leave a comment below. Here is the link to the survey.

Here’s a screenshot preview of the new newsletter launching next month. I had to take a screenshot, so it’s a bit unclear. I hope you enjoy it!

Nutritious Tomato Pepper Soup

I prepare various types of soups like this where I roast a blend of vegetables, onions, garlic, and herbs in the oven, then blend them and incorporate chicken broth, and possibly a blend of dairy. They are incredibly healthy and scrumptious. You can adjust the ingredients to suit your preference.

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an extra large rimmed baking sheet (or two large pans) with foil. Remove stems from larger tomatoes and slice them into wedges. Keep smaller grape or cherry tomatoes whole. You may use only one type of tomatoes if preferred. Place the tomatoes on the baking sheet along with the chopped onion and peppers. Toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, thyme, and garlic cloves until they are thoroughly coated. Arrange them in an even layer.

   Roast the tomatoes, peppers, garlic, and onion for 20 to 25 minutes or until the tomatoes have shriveled slightly, released their juices, and the onion and peppers are soft. The garlic cloves should be slightly caramelized and tender.

   Allow to cool slightly. Pour the entire mixture into a Cuisinart and blend until smooth.

   Transfer the soup to a medium saucepan and gently heat the mixture. At this stage, incorporate chicken broth and preferred milk product to your liking. Serve warm and garnish with fresh basil.
